Question po. Plano namin mag.send ng docs to Ms. Sandra. Has anyone tried having the clearance sent back to Singapore Address? Ilang days po before nyo na receive ang clearance? I see po kasi sa comment above na it will be sent back to us via ordinary mail. Checking sa Singpost to get an estimate, sabi it may take 3-5 weeks pag SG to Pinas so I assume mga ganyang timeframe din?

May additional questions lang sana ako, para di din magpabalik balik ang representative namin sa pinas regarding sa mga dapat dalhin/gawin.
- need ba dalhin ng representative namin yung IMMI Acknowledgement Letter? (sorry if this has been answered to another thread)
- Derecho lang po ba kay MS. SANDRA P. SOBIDA (3rd Floor), no need to book for an appointment or inform her that someone is coming on that day?
- Pag na receive na ng representative yung NBI clearance (3-7 days), they need to send that back to us, kasi po kailangan ng another thumbprint.
(Marami palang pabalik balik na magaganap, hehe!)
Sorry sa maraming katanungan.
Thank you so much in advance!

1) Di na kelangan ng Immi letter sa NBI
2) Deretso lang, pero nothing to lose kung tatawag din in advance kay Ms. Sandra lalo na kung malayo pa panggagalingan.
3) Pag na receive na ng representative mo yung NBI clearance yun na mismo isususbmit sa DIBP. Di na kelanagn ng fingerpruint kasi nagwa mo na yun sa Singapore police station.

Buti na lang di na kailangan ng thumbprint dun sa nbi cert, naalala ko lang kasi dati dated 2011 na request namin, yung nbi cert namin ay may maliit na square sa baba for thumbprint. So ipapascan ko na lang pala sa representative namin yan para tipid sa courier, less hassle. hehe!
Salamat ulit sir, laking tulong ng info mo.

ask ko lang po kailangan po ba yung PCC plus NBI?
Or kahit isa lang?
bakit po yung iba kumkuha pa rin ng NBI kahit usual country of residence ay "abroad"?

I'm in Australia at the moment with a temporary graduate visa. My NBI clearance expired while I was here and I never left the country. I'm preparing for visa 189 application para mas mabilis matapos ang requirements, so I need my NBI clearance renewed. May renewal ba o new application since nasa ibang bansa? Mostly nababasa ko ay new application through a relative sa Philippines tapos mail. I'm hoping someone who went through this could shed some light.
